The question isn't what lengths will authorities go to in submission to Islam. The question is, what won't they do?

This speaks to the supremacism of Islam. It's one thing to fast during the day, it's another thing to force non-Muslims to adhere to this nonsense. You do not see this with other religions. Jews fast on Yom Kippur, but you never hear non-Jews fasting as well (in deference to the Jewish tradition). Same thing with bacon: observant Jews don't eat bacon. But they certainly don't care if anyone else does. Unlike Muslims .... who seek to impose their restrictions on non-Muslims.

Kora Blagden claims her son was told he could not drink water

She says teacher told him it could be unfair to fasting classmates

Said teacher made decision on Thursday when temperatures hit 28 degrees

An angry mother has accused a primary school of denying her child water on one of the hottest days of the year for fear of upsetting pupils observing Ramadan.

Kora Blagden, 32, claimed a teacher at her son Luke’s school refused to let the 10-year old drink from his water bottle because it was unfair to fasting classmates.
Many pupils at Charles Dickens Primary School, Portsmouth, Hampshire, are fasting during Ramadan, which means they refrain from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset for around 30 days, depending on the moon.
